RUN THE RISK

Written for people who like their books fast-paced, frightening, and without any respite, this novel is a puzzle with razor-sharp edges. As the stakes escalate, the villain is not only ahead of the police, he's just as far ahead of the reader. Shelly Frasier performs with aplomb, whether she's Alex Delillo, a Pasadena Homicide Detective; Delillo's 17-year-old-daughter, who reveals her commitment to eco-terrorism during a beauty contest; or the psychopath about to orchestrate the most watched murder in history: Delillo carrying a bomb into the Pasadena Rose Parade. Even during the most intimate acts of violence Frasier successfully articulates the internal monologue that keeps Delillo from being a victim.
